1 This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically

     2 the Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command'

     3 packages.  This is all you need to distribute and install Python

     4 modules using the Distutils.  There is also a separately packaged

     5 standalone version of the Distutils available for people who want to

     6 upgrade the Distutils without upgrading Python, available from the

     7 Distutils web page:

     8 

     9     http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

    10 

    11 The standalone version includes all of the code in this directory,

    12 plus documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

    13 

    14 The Distutils documentation is divided into two documents, "Installing

    15 Python Modules", which explains how to install Python packages, and

    16 "Distributing Python Modules", which explains how to write setup.py

    17 files.  Both documents are part of the standard Python documentation

    18 set, and are available from http://www.python.org/doc/current/ .
